Subject: [merged] memcg-slab-rcu-protect-memcg_params-for-root-caches.patch removed from -mm tree To: vdavydov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,bsingharora@xxxxxxxxx,cl@xxxxxxxxx,glommer@xxxxxxxxx,hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx,kamezawa.hiroyu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx,mhocko@xxxxxxx,penberg@xxxxxxxxxx,mm-commits@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx From: akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2014 10:58:51 -0800 The patch titled Subject: memcg, slab: RCU protect memcg_params for root caches has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was memcg-slab-rcu-protect-memcg_params-for-root-caches.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: memcg, slab: RCU protect memcg_params for root caches We relocate root cache's memcg_params whenever we need to grow the memcg_caches array to accommodate all kmem-active memory cgroups. Currently on relocation we free the old version immediately, which can lead to use-after-free, because the memcg_caches array is accessed lock-free (see cache_from_memcg_idx()). This patch fixes this by making memcg_params RCU-protected for root caches.
